OpenOffice vs. MS Word

Hi guys,

just a brief note on what happened with me yesterday. Me and a colleague of mine were having really great trouble with a Microsoft Word document - after opening the document (which, by the way, was about 500 pages and is confidential, so I cannot post it here), MS Word just hanged. We were trying to read it many times, but every time we tried the MS Word program hanged and eventually crashed. Hopefully we had a VMWare software with a Slackware linux installed, so after we opened the document with OpenOffice, not only it didn't crash, but also we were able to export it as a PDF and an HTML+CSS. Nothing more to say, but: Thank you guys - you rule! :-)
